In 1892, Trinity College relocated to Durham from Randolph County, North Carolina. In 1924, the Duke Endowment was established to help develop the school into a university. That same year, Trinity College was renamed Duke University and major construction on the university began. This construction project consisted of expanding what is currently East Campus and building West Campus. In 1932, West Campus opened, and the Duke University Chapel was completed marking the end of the construction project. Since then, the campuses of Duke University have undergone expansions and renovations that have led to many changes to the campus over time.
